Chapter 39 - 37 (1/2)

Zero wanted to ask to the author of the book that what did happened to the father of the first cultivator? How did he reacted to his wife sudden death?

The author left that part unsaid and it made the young man more curious. Even mysteries were present on history.

After his pondering, he ignored those questions on the short-told story and felt his growling stomach. He was now really hungry. The taste of food on his mouth, he missed it.

He stood up from the chair and tapped the one-way mirror. The three members of the monitoring team who were still there, eating there dinner almost choke from their food.

”What is it?” A member dried his mouth as trail of noodles were on the side of it.

”Food. I'm hungry, what are you eating? Can I have some?” The young man asked, using his qi perception. He saw container-looking food was there on their tables and others were steaming from the red color heat energy.

The three now doubted if this was truly a one-way mirror, how could this young man knew that they were eating?

”Just give him these.”

Slurping sounds of cup noodles echoed with the monitoring room as the young man enjoyed his ten shared of cup noodles. He missed good food.

After he got his fill, he started again with his cultivation as he perceived his spiritual core. A spiritual core supplemented the cultivation of a martial practitioner to its life force. The more that you cultivated, the more it strengthened your life force, it was unlike his unique spiritual core that would grant him a long life span like a cultivator in Immortal realm, but a usual spiritual core in-stored spare qi energy in order for a cultivator to expend it in the future once his cultivation level increases.

While examining his spiritual core which located on his dantian, it was a bit below of the navel. Zero noticed that his lively spiritual core which was emitting a fire energy, had a tinged of purple aura surrounding it. The purple aura would suppressed the misbehaving fire energy from its direction and it would made it tamed.

'What was this? Is he still human?'

He asked himself as he listed all of the strangeness within his body. He couldn't explain his situation as he was baffled, too, on it. The young man was now determined to find out his identity and why was the third princess took him here in the palace if she could just let him returned to that Circus as he felt that he was more familiar to that place.

He needed a reason why he existed without his memories. Maybe, his former self wanted to redo something? Or he wanted to forget something?

Zero shook his head as to calm his wandering thoughts, he might went crazy from his discoveries.

Ka-shik!

The door of the monitoring room suddenly opened and a smiling middle-aged man greeted the young man inside.

”Your lucky that your 'lover' insisted to release you!”

Bai Zhou chuckled as he let the young man out, Zero covered his eyes from the sudden brightness of the place that he came out.

It was a hallway of a facility, the place was full of whiteness as it was well-litted by fluorescent lights. The young man at this moment noticed that he was not brought to a dungeon but an advanced facility.

”Is this a research facility?” He suddenly asked.

”Sort of. I'll escort you to the waiting room.”

The middle-aged man guided Zero to the location while they passed by many individuals wearing lab coats and sometimes uniforms that was similar to the man.

”Good morning, team leader!”

”Have a good day, team leader!”

”Chief Bai Zhou, how's your day?”

Many people would greet the smiling middle-aged man, Bai Zhou would nod or smile at them as he escorted the young man.

”Oh right! I didn't introduce myself. You heard it already, though… well, I'm Bai Zhou, a team leader of the monitoring team and a member of this royal family's research facility.”

'So I was right. But why would a royal family needed this kind of facility? What are they researching?'

”Zero.”

The young man replied, simply as he wandered his eyes around. There wasn't any suspicious element on this floor.

”How many floors does this facility had?”

”32,” Bai Zhou responded as he had a knowing smile while mirth was present on his eyes.

”Here we are, young master Zero!”

The middle-aged man opened the door as the arguing siblings resounded out from the waiting room.

Zero immediately went in as Bai Zhou left him to his devices, it was not his business to meddle with fights between two royal family members so the middle-aged man left as if nothing happened.
